a2z-blogging-challenge-2019

Selecting the keyword for day 24 of the A2Z Challenge 2019 was a bit challenging. In computer science, we have very few terms or keywords that start with ‘X’. All of them are ‘hi-tech’. So, after a lot of research and analysis, I selected ‘x86’ and ‘x64’. In this post, I am going to talk about the A2Z of x86 and x64 architecture.

While checking the ‘System Properties’ of your computer, you must have seen x86 or x64 based processor against system type. x86 and x64 based processors are called 32-bit and 64-bit processors respectively. x86 refers to the old 32-bit architecture whereas x64 refers to the new 64-bit architecture.
